No one said by any means this would be a sole discriminator. It is certainly an advantage to being non-WO, however big or small. If you have multiple offers, it could be huge. If you have one then it's not even a consideration. You WO guys are blowing this out of proportion and exaggerating minute details.

Please tell me how on earth you get a feel for the culture of an airline by having their name painted on your acft and parking at their gates. Do you receive emails from a mainline? Do you talk to their pilots? Their FAs? Do you interact with their mgmt? Like I said you may interact with their agents now and again but I bet just as much you are dealing with contract agents/rampers. Since I'm so clueless please inform me.
I work for an AA WO and I still barely understand their culture. When I see friends that have flowed in the terminal they literally say "you have no idea, it's a night and day difference." This is with me working at an airline that AA has a vested interest in.
There is no way you get any idea of a culture of a mainline by working at like republic. I bet a good 50% of mainline pilots don't even know which companies fly their regional lift. It's absurd.
